CBN - VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.
On today’s The 700 Club, during a segment about the devastation,
suffering and humanitarian effort that is needed in Haiti,
Dr. Robertson also spoke about Haiti’s history.
His comments were based on the widely-discussed
1791 slave rebellion led by Boukman Dutty at
Bois Caiman, where the slaves allegedly made
a famous pact with the devil in exchange for victory over
the French. This history, combined with the horrible state
of the country, has led countless scholars and religious
figures over the centuries to believe the country is cursed.
Dr. Robertson never stated that the earthquake was
God’s wrath. If you watch the entire video segment,
Dr. Robertson’s compassion for
the people of Haiti is clear.
He called for prayer for them. His humanitarian arm has
been working to help thousands of people in
Haiti over the last year, and they are currently launching
a major relief and recovery effort to help the
victims of this disaster.
They have sent a shipment of millions of dollars
worth of medications that is now in Haiti, and their disaster
team leaders are expected to arrive tomorrow and begin
operations to ease the suffering.

The Governor of Pa, Ed Rendell, and a team of doctors are in route to Haiti to bring children from Haiti to the States. All of the Children were living in an orphanage. The children will be taken to the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital for medical care.
This is such a controversial issue, everyone seems to have the answers regarding the Haitain plight, but when Robertson speaks of the curse and God's wrath, did he ever consider the conditions these people were suffering at the hands of slave masters. Maybe this is what drove them to such a grave decisions to make "a pack with the devil" if that is such the case.
